Hi Coopers12, The Dr. .Claire Weekes book is easy to understand and will help you on your way to recovery through acceptance. I had read many books through the years but this still comes up as the best one yet.

[Coopers12 in reply to Agora1]

Oh great! Thank you so much. I'll give it a try Hope you're okay. X

Hi The DARE Response by Barry McDonagh is brilliant it comes with a free app with audio relaxation you can use anywhere on your phone

Any of Dr Claire Weekes books she is absolutely wonderful Both authors suffered so they know exactly what it's like

There is lots about her on You Tube so you can see before you buy her books

Hope that helps xx

Paul David wrote At Last a Life. He wrote a second book too. Details can be found on his website which I also strongly recommend visiting. Check out the blog too. Lots of good advice from those who have recovered by practising acceptance.

Anything that advocates acceptance to cure anxiety/panic/OCD or any other fear based disorder is well worth reading. Acceptance works.

Hi Coopers12,

I'm giving you my natural remedies and non-drug sources of information which are books, videos, and workbooks suggested by other people on this site. You might find something here that interests you:

1---"I've found David D. Burns' "Feeling Good" and "When Panic Attacks" to be very helpful."

2---"I am working through the anxiety workbook by Dr David Carbonell and it has helped immensely!!! "

3---TRE (Trauma releasing exercises) is something you can learn in a class but you don't have to talk about your problems and once you have learned the technique you can use it at home.

4---"A good book that I came across recently is "The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook, 6th Edition" by Edmund J. Bourne, PhD. You might find this book to be of some help to you, although communicating your thoughts and feelings in a group setting is enormously helpful as well. "

5---“The book DARE, which is about anxiety. It’s a very good book about accepting anxiety and letting go of the fear. The author is Barry Mcdonagh and he also has a YouTube channel and a Facebook support group.”

6---For anxiety: Claire Weekes audio books on iTunes.

7---Another really good CD and book is the Linden method.

8---Videos on YouTube by THAT ANXIETY GUY helps with anxiety re: depersonalization/ de-realization states.

9---"Go on the psychology today site and look for a therapist that specializes in anxiety."

10---“Have you ever listened to Louise Hay on YouTube? Some of the talks help motivate you and hopefully you will feel a positive energy.”

11---“I called one of these online therapist sites. The therapist was really good. It was prestoexperts dot com. Her name was Lori Burke. Definitely a professional and she got me through this awful depression/anxiety morning.” (There is a charge for this service)

12---For meditation look at:

Tara Brach and Chopra Center

14---The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook

Practical DBT Exercises for Learning Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance

By: Matthew McKay PhD, Jeffrey Wood PsyD, Jeffrey Brantley MD

A Clear and Effective Approach to Learning DBT Skills

First developed for treating borderline personality disorder, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has proven effective as treatment for a range of other mental health problems, especially for those characterized by overwhelming emotions. Research shows that DBT can improve your ability to handle distress without losing control and acting destructively. In order to make use of these techniques, you need to build skills in four key areas-distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
